Thomas Lowell argues that water scarcity in the West is a price control issue. He notes federal water contracts underprice urban and agricultural users, fueling waste, and urges shorter, non-election year contracts to curb losses. He cites Milton Friedman on profit and loss and calls for market-driven limits on irrigation subsidies.
